About this book
Reviews
“The current volume extends the analysis to the reappearance of Victorian freaks in contemporary fiction, plays, films, graphic novels, and television. … provides many perspectives, including her own, on the original experiences of Sarah Baartman … . Davies demonstrates that long-dead freaks still raise disturbing questions about sexuality, race, and otherness. Extensive notes. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers.” (R. Sugarman, Choice, Vol. 53 (9), May, 2016)
